1. It is pretty hard to find an 05 or 06 used Honda, for starters. I think it is part of the reason resale value is so high: Honda owners keep their Hondas.
2. Even if I were to find one, the high resale value on it is so high, for just a little bit more you can buy a brand new one.
3. Other people don't take care of their cars like I do. Almost all used cars I look at have been abused in some way or the other, whereas a new car I can keep the way I want it to.
That's why, at least for a Honda, I would buy new.
Just struggling with buying it NOW (I don't think the 2007s will be around much longer- can't really wait it out), or waiting and getting a 2008 later on for a lesser payment. The 2008 model really doesn't offer anything above the 2007s other than the fact it has an "8" rather than a "7" (plus cost...)
